Anything that doesn’t fit your actual conclusion is going to be considered a bad example to you, don’t you see that?
I’m not advocating a firing, I think he should get next season, I wasn’t knocked from that thought even when Air Force slapped us around.
But your premises are based upon “what if” straws and “maybes” exclusively, not actual evidence or you give 10x the weight to the good over the poor.
This year has yet to be determined so we don’t know. Perhaps UNLV loses today and they don’t make the NIT … then you look at the three year and anybody slightly objective would say it’s been poor. And that next season has to weigh more towards more of something similar than a breakthrough.
I can see people like yourself mightily clinging to an NIT as a sign of massive improvement, an extension is warranted, lock him up for life. The evidence is there, nothing, nothing, NIT, huge up trending. It’s an easy prediction to make.
Again, I rely on my eyes a lot and try to put blind fanaticism to the side … it skews things massively, imo. If my team sucks, they suck, I can accept it if they do. Don’t have to like it but can accept it. I’ve seen bad year, bad year and a horrifically inconsistent year under his belt, NIT or not, Cinderella run to the NCAAT or not. I don’t snippet the good parts or the bad parts, I try to look at totality and come up with conclusions objectively. I try not to be weighed down by what I want for my team and I understand when fans can’t get out of their own head and allow it and they stick to silver linings and rah rah as their go tos.
I’d much rather have KK here for 20 years with some success than another three/four year failure. I wanted the same with Otz, Marv, Rice, etc. Resetting is God awful, especially considering how it tends to work out for us, coaching searches aren’t exciting to me, they drain me …
